Kung Fu Chess 3.0

This is a large chess variant, played on a 14 X 10 board called Kung Fu Chess. This game uses Chinese kung fu as its backdrop. Each piece represents a practitioner of a style of kung fu. The Disciple is the pawn, who has no style until he makes it to the end of the board and gets promoted.

The Shaolin Master is the leader of his army and is in this game the king. The styles are Monkey, Panther, Crab, Snake, Tiger, Crane, Dragon, and Praying Mantis. As pieces, this the order of their relative strength as well. The remaining pieces are famous practitioners. Ng Mui was a Shaolin nun who invented a famous style of kung fu. Wing Chun was her first disciple, and the aforementioned style was named after her. Bruce Lee should be obvious.
